RYA Dinghy Show:
Support the 12 Class

The
start of the sailing
year is seen by many
to be the RYA Dinghy
Show taking place at
Alexandra Palace on
the 5th and 6th
March. The 12 class
will be there to
kick start the
season in style!

This year on the
stand the wooden
4-Plank version of
the Dead Cat Bounce
will be unveiled.
This new boat is
currently in its
final stages of
completion.
It belongs to Stuart
Walsh and has been
built by
Simon Hipkin in
Essex.
There are photos of
the building process
so far on the N12
Facebook page.

We Need You!
Over the two days
the class will need
volunteers to help
man the stand.
If you are planning
to attend please
support us by
spending 1 and half
hours on the stand.
It is a great
opportunity to
interact both with
sailors who are
interested in 12s
and those who
already have a 12
but want to get more
involved in the
class. If you
can volunteer on
either Saturday (or
particularly
Sunday), please
email to johnandkaty12@gmail.com

A
Sprinting Start to
2016 at Burghfield

Sprint Racing at
the Brughfield 2015
GUL event.

The first GUL Series
event of 2016 will
be taking place at
Burghfield Sailing
Club on Saturday
19th March. The
briefing will take
place at 10.30am.

The fixture will
take the format of
sprint racing: as
many races as
possible will be run
over the course of
the day on a simple
small course.
Starting is the key!

Tea and cake will
be available at the
end of the day to
supplement the
energy used up on
the water with prize
giving taking place
as soon as possible
after results have
been finalised.

Prizes will be
awarded across the
variety of fleets
sailing so there
will be glassware
split between
foilers, DBs and
ACs.
